Abstract
Christian Bök is the author of two collections of poetry: Crystallography (Coach House, 1994) and Eunoia (Coach House, 2001), which earned the Griffin Prize for Poetry in 2002. He is also a sound poet and conceptual artist; Bök has performed to audiences internationally, and his art has been showcased at the Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York and with the traveling text art exhibition Metalogos. This interview considers the wider scope of his artistic practice and his current project, The Xenotext Experiment, which explores the relationship between poetry and biotechnology. Bök hopes to encode a poetic text into the genetic sequence of a living organism
